Beloved at the Door

She bowed her head and walked into the imperial study room, knelt down in the direction of the emperor and saw her.

"Men's daughter knocks on the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

"Shangguan catch fast." A low and steady voice came. This is the dragon's voice of today's sage. When he heard the emperor call her by her title, Shangguan Yan immediately changed his status and was no longer a merchant, but Daxing. The dark arrest of the dynasty.

"Humble job."

"Look up."

She raised her face cautiously, her eyes still lowered respectfully, not daring to look at the holy face.

The emperor has known a lot about her deeds. Now that she sees herself, she is beautiful and upright, beautiful but not glamorous. There is a heroic spirit in her gentleness. As he expected, he thought that this woman had been taken from Di Jing's hands. After taking the roster, Di Jing couldn't forget about it for more than two years, and he couldn't help but glance at Di Jing.

Suddenly, Di Jing ignored the emperor's inquisitive gaze, and still stood there solemnly, with an unpredictable expression on his face, as if nothing could affect his mood.

The emperor smiled and said, "Flat body."

"Xie Huang," Shangguan Yan stood up, glanced at a familiar figure from the corner of his eye, glanced inadvertently, and immediately stunned.

Di Jing? Is he here?

"Shangguan quick catch, this official has submitted to the sage, we have clues to Master Tian, ​​you are an important witness in charge of investigating, and now you will report everything you know to the sage, understand? "

These words revealed the stakes in it. He didn't need to make it too clear. Shangguan Yan immediately heard the song and understood the elegant meaning, and realized the implication in his words.

That's it! No wonder the emperor suddenly summoned her and rescued her from An Fei. It turned out that Di Jing used this excuse.

For a moment, something seemed to brush her heart, bringing a warmth and indescribable throbbing.

And her reaction was very quick. As soon as Di Jing finished speaking, she immediately cooperated perfectly and began to report to the emperor in a serious manner.

In fact, she didn’t know the latest clues about Master Tian, ​​but even if she didn’t know, she was able to make the most of the clues she knew, adding some clues to the east and adding some to the west. Anyway, these days working with Di Jing, two People have cultivated a tacit understanding, and she can more or less derive some joy from the one-sided information and case handling attitude given to her by Di Jing.

When talking about the key points, Di Jing inserted one or two sentences at the right time, which sounded to remind her of the key points, but in fact he was revealing the direction to her, lest she would say something wrong and would show her feet afterwards.

Di Jing listened to her endless report to the emperor, and his eyes were full of praise.

He only received the clues about Master Tian last night, but because she returned to Shangguan's house to recuperate, he didn't have time to tell her that unexpectedly, An Fei summoned her into the palace.

In order to save her, he rushed to the Imperial Study Room immediately. He believed that even if he didn't have time to tell her the plan, with her ingenuity, he would understand what he meant.

Sure enough, she not only made it through at one point, but she could also fully cooperate with him, making the case vivid and vivid, and after his mention, she was able to speak just right, which made him very pleased, and there was a gentle smile hidden in the deep eyes.

An hour later, Di Jing bid farewell to the emperor and left the Imperial Study Room with Shangguan Yan, Qiu Dan also continued to secretly protect.

Watching them leave, the emperor said to Lu Gong beside him: "Little Luzi."

"The minion is here."

"How can you see Di Aiqing's attitude towards Shangguan Yan?"

"If you return to the emperor, Master Di will love it, and it will be a great use to Shangguan Yan."

"anything else?"

Father Lu heard the holy intention and smiled and said, "In addition to loving his talent, he also has the heart to protect it."

The smile line on the emperor's mouth deepened. "Do you think so too?"

The emperor is joking! Lu Gonggong knew that the emperor valued Master Di very much, so he smiled and said, "The emperor, Master Di is not young anymore."

"Yes, it's already twenty-four. Over the years, he has worked hard for me north and south, and never complained. I love him very much. Two years ago, I asked him which girl he liked and wanted to marry him, but he said no. I'm anxious, I don't intend to marry a wife. Today, I heard that I was summoned by Concubine An, so I hurried to my imperial study room and turned a corner to ask me to help him **** the person. This reason was justified. I listened carefully to the case and said everything in a reasonable way. I really couldn't catch the wrong place. If I hadn't known the girl he liked beforehand, they would really have bluffed him over."

"The emperor's heart is as wide as the sea, and Master Di is also anxious. When the old slave Shi Cai went to the Lotus Palace, Empress An was about to order someone to punish the girl Shangguan, but she had no fear on her face and had a calm temper, which matched Master Di. "

The emperor glanced at Father Lu. "You speak for Master Di?"

"The old slave dare not."

The emperor smiled and stroked his chin's beard. "Since this Shangguan girl is so good and my Nine Emperor Gods likes her again, it is not impossible to let her be my daughter-in-law."

Lu Gonggong's heart was shocked. The emperor always loves talents and knows that An Fei intends to join hands with Concubine De, by marrying Chengen Gongfu to expand her power. In order to balance the power of the harem, the emperor also acquiesced in this matter, but now Is it possible that the emperor fell in love with the five girls of Shangguan family and wanted to change his mind to let the nine princes marry each other as his wife?

It is not uncommon for princes to marry women with low family backgrounds as concubines. Like the water concubine in the Mausoleum Palace, it is a precedent to be promoted from a small concubine to a concubine. If this is the case, isn't Master Di's wish to fetch water from a bamboo basket?

Father Lu dared not speak anymore. He had been with the emperor for so long, and sometimes he couldn't guess the true holy intention.

At the other end, Di Jing and Shangguan Yan took a soft sedan to the palace gate, and then changed to a carriage.

"Come up." He only said two words and turned back into the carriage. She didn't give her a chance to say good or bad, so she could only sit in the carriage.

After the carriage moved, Di Jing asked her directly—

"Why did Concubine An call you into the palace?"

Shangguan Yan thought for a while, and naturally told him the reason. After Di Jing listened to it, he pondered for a while and said to her: "Since Concubine An has spoken today, you can't be married to others, otherwise it would be equal to It’s to hit her in the face, and it’s not good for the Pan family.”

Without Di Jing's reminder, Shangguan Yan also understood the stakes.

"I understand." Her tone was calm, her expression calm, she couldn't see the happiness or anger.

"If you can't marry Master Pan, would you be sad?" When he asked this, his tone seemed indifferent, but his heart was tense.

Shangguan Yan didn't notice it, but thought about his words. She really didn't think about this issue. She always thought that she would marry Pan Zeming for granted, but it was only time. But now she found that her relationship with Pan Zeming might be hindered. She was not at all sad.

"As long as there is nothing wrong with the Pan's family, it doesn't matter if I marry or not to the Pan's family.

She said this refreshingly, without a trace of sadness, allowing Di Jing's tense nerves to unwind. What he worries most is that there is someone in her heart. If she is affectionate to Pan Zeming, he doesn't know what to do. Now that he knows she can let go, without hesitation, his gripping heart seems to have a big stone falling to the ground, which makes it a lot easier.

"So what about the Nine Princes? Concubine An will not give up. You slapped her in the face today. For the sake of dignity, she will definitely exert pressure in secret."

Shangguan Yan nodded without hiding. "This is exactly what I am worried about. For them, it is just accepting a woman as a concubine, and it is an honor for me. If I refuse, I don't know what is good or bad. Even if I escape this time, the Shangguan family has been Offending the An Fei faction, my father has been trying to avoid disputes for so many years, which is tantamount to ruining in my hands."

This is what makes her sad. What she doesn't want is to cause trouble to others. The eldest and second elder brothers will not be easy to behave in the mall in the future.

"This matter... is not without a solution."

She raised her eyes, their eyes lightened up suddenly. "Is there a way, my lord?"

Di Jing couldn't help lowering her gaze. Her eyes were too bright, making his face guilty and guilty. Thinking of what he was about to say, she felt timid and nervous again.

He picked up the porcelain house on the side to pour a cup of tea for himself, picked up the porcelain cup to hide his tense emotions, he took a sip of tea, cleared his thirsty throat, and took a deep breath in secret. Then he spoke slowly.

"Why... how about you marry me?"

As soon as this was said, there was a sudden silence in the carriage.

She stared at him in astonishment, and he was still tasting slowly with the teacup, and God knew that he was like a sea of ​​flames at this moment, like sitting on pins and needles.

As soon as he spoke, there was no turning back. He couldn't help being scared. What if she refused? As long as she doesn’t want to, no one can force her. He has thought about ways to force her to submit countless times, but in the end he understands one thing. If she doesn’t want to, even if he marries someone, he will only get an empty shell. , Might as well find a way to make her marry willingly.

Time flies like a lifetime, and Di Jing doesn't know what to do next. He can only wait for the answer. When his palms sweat secretly, he has to pretend to be calm.

Shangguan Yan finally came back to her senses, did she hear it right? He asked her if she wanted to marry him?

"Are you kidding me?"

Di Jing was silent for a while, then slowly said, "It's not a joke."

She was still in shock. "But... isn't this bad?"
